So It's Been Nearly a Year...
Friday, August 26, 2005

...since I was first introduced to Firefly. Well, I remember seeing ads for it back in 2002 and I thought...geeez, what a Farscape rip-off! Yeah, I admit it, I really said that to myself. But I remember sitting down with a friend who'd borrowed the DVDs from another friend and watching the first episode. And I was definitely intrigued...until I hear those guitar chords...somewhat like the banjo in HHGTTG:

INT. BRIDGE - CONTINUING

Wash is seated, all business now.

WASH
Hang on, travellers...

INT. AIRLOCK - CONTINUING

Everyone grabs something, as Jayne pulls off his helmet.

JAYNE
Let's moon 'em.

EXT. SERENITY - CONTINUING

As the ship turns away from us, the back lights up -- the entire bulbous back end glowing beneath a metal grid.

The ship fires away from us.


And gorrammit! I was hooked! Like an absorbent product sucking up everything around it, I just craved Firefly! And now we're right on the cusp of having a month left before the BDM. I walked into my classroom the other day and noticed that I still had an old flyer with the April release date on my wall. :D Man, I love this show!
